Inventor on Apple Mac M1 processor under Parallels

Does anyone have suggestions and / or success on how to run  Autodesk Inventor or Fusion360 on my Apple Macbook Pro M1 which is running Parallels 17 ARM with Windows ARM installed ? thanks

I tried this and still get the warning it is using Software Graphics.  Any other suggestion?

I am using Parallels 19.3.1 on. MAC STUDIO M2 MAX (Sonoma 14.4.1)

After you've edited the file, if you start Inventor & go to App Options, Hardware are you able to change to Performance mode or is that grayed out?

If you open a part file & run the Inventor graphics diagnostics from the app options, hardware & copy/paste the info into a text file, do you see any errors or useful info? Can you attach your graphics diagnostic info & also your edited hardwarelibrary.xml file?

Thanks
Chris

I will do this first thing tomorrow am. Thanks for replying.

See attached files.  After I edit the file, I open inventor and select a IPT file and get the attached screen shot.  I also attached the App options for Hardware.  Even if I deselect the SOFTWARE GRAPHICS check box and reopen, it is still checked.

Does it work any better with the attached file instead ?

Thanks

That worked! It did not bring the notification up.  When I go to Hardware now, it says Performance.

Whatever you did, thank you!

Another question about this subject.  For some reason Inventor will not display proper fonts in Print Preview / Printing / PDF.  Just curious if anyone knows a solution.
